For years the estate has had a small portfolio, consisting only of the Red Muscadel. In 1987 Johnny added the Chardonnay and in 2001 the Sauvignon Blanc. The first red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, was released in 2002 and from then on the portfolio expanded to the four ranges we have today. Each of these ranges is individually developed to meet the growing demands of the various markets.
At the moment the estate is still planted with predominantly white noble cultivars covering 75%, with red being only 25%. Apart from the traditional Red Muscadel, Rietvallei is also planted with the following classic noble cultivars, namely Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Colombar, Rhine Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Pinotage, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Ruby Cabernet, Tinta Barocca and Pinot Noir. Rietvallei's famous 1908 Red Muscadel vineyard is in the form of bush vines and is approximately one quarter of a hectare in size. |
